Little Bill Off List First Time in Many Seasons By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 13.—After fourteen years of competition with the best in the tennis world, the name of Little Bill Johnston has failed to appear in the rankings of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. While the new list brings out the names of several young players who are expected to make their marks on the record, the passing of Little Bill brought more comment than did the coming of new players. Johnston entered the “Big Ten” in tennis in 1913, when he was ranked fourth. The next year he dropped to sixth. In 1915 he took the No. 1 position, only to relinquish it the next year to R. Norris Williams. In 1919 Johnston again took the first position. Then for four straight years he was No. 2 to Tilden. In 1924 both Tilden and Vinnie Richards were ranked above him, but he outranked Richards the next year. In leaving Johnston off the list, the U. S. L. T. A. gave “insufficient play” as the reason. Many believed that his Davis cup competition last year entitled him to a ranking, even though he did not win either of his matches. Mac Smith Cops Open Golf Meet By United Pres* HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Feb. 12. MacDonald Smith, veteran New York professional, won the South Central Open Golf championship here with a medal score of 283.
